Indorama Ventures Public Company Limited (SET: IVL), a global sustainable chemical company, plans to offer its “A” rated perpetual bonds to the public expectedly from 1-4 July 2024, with a coupon rate for the initial 5-year period set at 6.10% per year, payable semi-annually. The proceeds will be used to redeem Indorama Ventures’ existing perpetual bonds on their 5th anniversary in November 2024.
The joint lead arrangers reported strong investor interest, supported by an “A” credit rating for the perpetual bonds and an “AA-” credit rating with a “stable” outlook for Indorama Ventures assigned by Tris Rating Company Limited as of April 30, 2024, reflecting the company’s strong financial and operational performance and sustainable growth path. The bonds’ attractive yield supports investment returns during an anticipated downward trend in interest rates. Furthermore, Indorama Ventures’ track record of issuing similar perpetual bonds in the past, redeemed every five years with consistent dividend payments, adds to this issuance’s appeal.
The perpetual bonds will be offered to the public through leading financial institutions, including Bangkok Bank, Krungthai Bank, Kasikornbank, Siam Commercial Bank, CIMB Thai Bank, Kiatnakin Phatra Securities, Krungthai XSpring Securities, Maybank Securities (Thailand), Yuanta Securities (Thailand), Asia Plus Securities, and Thanachart Securities.
“We are confident that Indorama Ventures’ perpetual bonds will meet the investment needs of investors seeking long-term opportunities, with returns adjusted favorably to the anticipated downward trend in interest rates,” said a representative of the joint lead arrangers.
